Infinite Holding Pivot Mechanisms for Dual Screen Systems

6. The encasement of claim 1, wherein the mobile computer is a laptop computer.

8. The mobile computer of claim 7, wherein the one-way roller clutch is a tapered roller clutch.

9. The mobile computer of claim 7, further comprising an internal collet release within a shaft of the one-way roller clutch.

14. A method comprising: display chassis is hingedly connected to the base at a hinge that includes a one-way roller clutch comprising a shape memory alloy (SMA) spring in opposition to a compression spring of the one-way roller clutch, wherein the one-way roller clutch and SMA spring together freely permit upward rotation of the display chassis relative to the base and are bias against downward rotation of the display chassis relative to the base when an electrical current is absent; and supplying the electrical current to permit downward rotation of the display chassis relative to the base.

15. The method of claim 14 comprising: a primary base structure that includes a keyboard and trackpad; a current driver circuit selectively applies the electrical current.

16. The method of claim 15 further comprising: removing the electrical current in absence of sufficient minimal user hand-activated inputs.

17. The method of claim 16 further comprising: an accidental trigger prevention (ATP) mechanism including left and right primary switches disposed on left and right edges of a primary display chassis, and left and right secondary switches is disposed on left and right edges of the display chassis and circuitry or logic provides the electrical current only if the left primary switch and right secondary switch are closed.

18. The method of claim 16 further comprising: an accidental trigger prevention (ATP) mechanism including left and right primary switches disposed on left and right edges of a primary display chassis, and left and right secondary switches is disposed on left and right edges of the secondary display chassis and circuitry or logic provides the electrical current only if the left secondary switch and right primary switch are closed.

19. The method of claim 18 further comprising: an accidental trigger prevention (ATP) mechanism including left and right primary switches disposed on left and right edges of a primary display chassis, and left and right secondary switches is disposed on left and right edges of the secondary display chassis and circuitry or logic provides the electrical current only if the left primary switch and right secondary switch are closed or if the left secondary switch and right primary switch are closed.
